This is the first major exploration of the works of American
abstract painter and watercolorist Suzan Frecon (b. 1941),
critically acclaimed for her sensitive arrangement of color, form,
and texture, and for the philosophical resonance of her art. By
restricting herself to nonrepresentational forms, earth-based
colors, and, in the case of her watercolors, "found" pieces of
paper, Frecon achieves an unequaled sense of balance and openness
in her work. The book features ten oil paintings and thirty
watercolors dating from the late 1990s to 2007. form, color,
illumination celebrates the uniqueness of Frecon's painting and
articulates how her work distinguishes itself within the history of
abstract painting. The authors describe in-depth how her artistic
process and materials are an integral part of her focus and
aesthetic. Included is an essay revealing the "ethics" of her
aesthetics--an argument for abstraction and an attention to truth
that is not divorced from social and environmental concerns.
